 Mr here
Okay,
Here is my take on this....
(I am going to buck conventional wisdom here...a little)
If we were meeting local (meaning close to home) we definately would not have waited that long, but....
If you both traveled at least an hour to meet I would probably have given him a little more time. You are already there, you paid for the room, and he kept calling to say he was 10 minutes out...5 minutes out...2 minutes out.
It is possible he wasn't coming at all and was trying to see how long he could string you along, but with the last call saying he was 2 minutes out...I would have waited, more out of curiosity than anything else.
Any Play would have been unlikely at this point but a face to face meeting to see if he was for real and to judge the sincerity of his excuse would have been in order, for us anyway.
Sometimes shit happens and things fall behind. Maybe he was really stuck in traffic or maybe he was at the soccer game. It could have ran late, beyond his control. I don't think he could just walk off the field, maybe he told a little white lie to avoid making you think the soccer game was more important.
If he took the time to actualy show up, albeit late, I would have stuck around another 10 minutes after the 2 minute warning.
We would give him the chance to "make up" for being late and make him earn his way back to some play time.
If his being late was an actual trait of his arrogance it would show through in his personality once you met.
So bottom line for us,
We PROBABLY would have waited. Mainly for 2 reasons:
1)He ALSO traveled to meet.
2) He was calling every few minutes to update you. |
